NOAA Twin Otter supports Utah air chemistry study

A NOAA Twin Otter aircraft equipped with special sensors is supporting an air chemistry study in the skies over Utah. From Jan. 17-Feb. 14, the aircraft will fly over the Cache, Salt Lake, and Utah valleys to survey the chemical conditions responsible for the formation of particulate pollution. The project includes investigators from the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory’s Chemical Sciences Division and Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, the Utah Division of Air Quality, the University of Utah, the University of Toronto and the University of Washington.
